Emily Greenland-Wright

LicAc MBAcC

I am a fully qualified Five Element Acupuncturist. I consider the root cause of dis-ease, pain or discomfort and practice ‘whole-person’ medicine, considering all parts of you and how different factors may be affecting your health .

 My own connection with acupuncture and Chinese medicine began over 10 years ago when treatment improved both my physical and mental wellbeing after returning to the UK following briefly living in Africa. Throughout my own treatment journey as a patient - I have found many benefits to acupuncture, including helping managing symptoms relating to a PCOS diagnosis, stress, better sleep, pain relief and improved energy levels.

I now wish to help others in the same way with this ancient healing modality. My background before acupuncture, ranged from public relations in the fashion industry to international development – ultimately, I found my way back to what I feel is my authentic path, helping others.

My approach to treatment

I take time to understand your story and offer a space to slow down and simply be — a rare gift in today’s fast-paced world. The treatment room is a calm, compassionate environment where healing begins, both physically and emotionally.

Acupuncture helps reconnect you with your body and lived experience, especially in a time of growing disconnection.

I work with individuals facing a range of challenges, including autoimmune and chronic conditions, pain, mental health, and women’s health.

Treatment_approach

  • I graduated from The Acupuncture Academy in 2024 and was awarded a Distinction for their Professional Licentiate in Acupuncture, which is a three year degree qualification accredited by the British Acupuncture Accreditation Board. My training was extensive and covered all aspects of Chinese medical and acupuncture theory, with a focus on the Five-Element approach. From March-August 2023 I trained under the close clinical supervision of Sarah Matheson.

    Previous to gaining my licentiate, I spent a further two years studying specifically the Five-Elements style of acupuncture, following a Master-Student style apprenticeship programme which is a common teaching modality of Chinese medicine. This means I have a strong grounding in treating from the Five Element perspective.

    I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council and adhere to the Council’s Codes of Safe Practice and Professional Conduct. British Acupuncture Council members are also registered with the Professional Standards Authority which is a government body set up to regulate health and social care providers, and is accountable to Parliament.

    My clinic is licensed by Brighton & Hove Council and Mid Sussex Council, and I hold full medical malpractice and public/products liability insurance cover.

  • I have a special interest in Women’s Health, from menarche to post-menopause. I am passionate about supporting women to advocate for themselves and reclaim control of their bodies, health and the care they receive. Conventional treatment for intimate health issues can often have complex emotional implications which take a toll on relationships and daily life; by incorporating women in their own healing journeys, I believe we can find compassionate routes of enquiry where women feel truly seen and listened to. I offer a gentle holistic approach to treating individuals with a wide range of conditions including; Endometriosis, PCOS, PMS, PMDD, menstrual issues, hormonal imbalances and symptoms relating to perimenopause, menopause and beyond.

    The integration of conventional & holistic medicine is another area of interest which I am actively engaged in, I recently attended the IPM conference in London to learn about the latest research in integrative and personalised medicine. The modern practice of Functional Medicine and ancient teachings of Chinese medicine are both concerned with the root cause of disease. I am also a member of the College of Medicine and Integrated Health – a registered charity which works to advocate for a new attitude to healthcare: an emphasis on prevention and a multi-faceted approach to empower a healthier, happier population.

Testimonials

  • With the benefit of regular treatments over many months I have no hesitation in highly recommending Emily to anyone who is considering acupuncture. Emily clearly cares about her work and with a calm and reassuring manner I feel relaxed and comfortable during my treatment. With her strong empathy and skills I leave feeling replenished with a real sense of restoring my well-being. Thank you Emily

  • I can’t recommend Emily enough. I felt so seen and listened to. She really takes her time to get to know you as an individual, so she can tailor your sessions to your needs. Her patience, thoughtfulness and generosity of spirit make her a wonderful practitioner and made me feel relaxed and safe in the room. I felt so much more balanced, refreshed and hopeful after my sessions. Thank you, Emily!

    O.H, Patient

  • Long term pain has resulted in me spending years feeling broken and disconnected from my body, and for the first time, I feel more in control. With Emily’s guidance, I'm learning how to better understand myself while staying connected to my body. Having acupuncture hasn't just helped with relief of my symptoms it has also given me the confidence to listen and trust that I know what's best for my body. She advises me on how I can better support myself with lifestyle and dietary changes, but rather than telling me what to do she's helped give me the tools to go away and create better habits for myself. Although she's primarily treating me for my Endometriosis symptoms, I also have several chronic illnesses that can negatively impact on each other which she helps with. Living with long-term health issues also negatively impacts my mental health - Emily works with both my mental and physical health as one. I have been having acupuncture with Emily for just over a year now and I cannot recommend her enough. Her kind and caring nature makes her perfect for this type of work and she's amazing at what she does!
